Today, I was at my mom's funeral. My sisters and I were sitting in the front row. The funeral director, whom we had met with twice before, was going around greeting everyone. When she got to us, she asked where our mom was. Seriously? FML

Today, my mom talked me into going to a funeral since my dad wouldn't go. It was for one of her classmates. When it was our time to view the casket, we paused in front of it for a second before my mom leans over to me and says, "What if I told you that was really your dad?" FML

Today, I was speaking to an old friend and I asked her how her mother was. She replied, "She passed away, you came to her funeral last month." FML

Today, while at my aunt's funeral, my grandma who has terrible memory loss asked me whose funeral we were at. I had to explain to her that her daughter had died. FML

Today, I attended my mom's funeral, who was the only person who ever truly supported me. During the funeral, the cemetery representative told me he was sure the hole was dug to specification, while at the same moment the casket got caught on the ground and tipped, dropping her 6ft down. FML

Today, my mom asked me to help pick out clothes for my grandma to wear in her casket. I didn't know she'd died. FML

Today, we buried my mom. I walked past my sister's husband just in time to hear him mutter: "Hope the fire's nice and hot down there, you old hag." I told my sister. She wouldn't believe me and accused me of trying to start drama. FML

Today, at the funeral home where I work, I asked my boss if it was time to "bring out the stiff". I didn't realize the guy's family was not only in the building, but within earshot as well. FML

Today, my parents and I attended the funeral of my husband's mother. It was open-casket, and my parents went to take a look. My mum muttered, "With a dress that tacky, no wonder she died", and my dad chuckled. A fight quickly erupted, and the police were called. FML

Today, it was dad’s funeral and I intended to speak but I was crying so much I couldn’t finish and mom had to help me back to my seat. Unfortunately, most of our family are arseholes and I could hear someone saying, “Disgraceful, shaming his dad like that.” It was the worst day of my entire life. FML

That's actually kinda douchy that he wouldn't remember something as important as that.

I'm deeply sorry, both for your loss, and for the fact that you had to deal with this moose knuckle of a person. I hope the rest of the funeral went smoothly and you were still able to find some comfort in it.

I hope the funeral home gave you something off the price.

At my mom's friends funeral , the preacher (I'm not really sure what us called . The person who gives the eulogy ) forgot his name .

"Well she's either in that coffin or you're gonna have to alert the authorities to a potiential zombie outbreak". All joking aside that was a really dick move on the directors part for not knowing she was directing your mothers funeral though she did seem to care enough to reconise that your mother wasn't with you.

maybe he was just filling his friends spot and he doesn't know what was happening but then again when you see people wearing black in a graveyard you would think its a funeral

What in the hell are you even talking about? Where does it indicate that they were at her gravesite?

I had to add to my comment, and time ran out before I could. The funeral director is also stated to be a WOMAN, so "he" is not filling in for anyone, and the FML explicitly states that they had met with her twice before, which precludes the possibility of her being a fill-in on the day of the funeral. Furthermore, even if there was a last minute swap of directors due to unforeseen circumstances, it would be the responsibility of the funeral home to make sure that all relevant details were passed along...like the fact that it was their mother's funeral.
